Port Pain

I have been having pain under my Bard port. It feels as if there is a staple or suture or something under the port which presses into the underlying muscle when the outer lumen is used or when any pressure is put on the outer part of the port. My medical team seems to have never heard this complaint before. Something is clearly wrong. I do not want it removed, I just want this pain issue resolved. It works great.

Any ideas?
